Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

The active pharmaceutical ingredients contained in Ginette contraceptive pills are 2 mg cyproterone acetate, and 0.035 mg ethinylestradiol.

Mechanism of Action

Ginette-35 contraceptive pill contains two pharmaceutical ingredients, cyproterone acetate, and ethinylestradiol. Cyproterone acetate is an artificial derivative of 17-Hydroxyprogetrone which acts as an androgen receptor antagonist, and also weakly inhibits progesterone receptors.
Cyproterone acetate works synergistically with ethinylestradiol to prevent pregnancy by disallowing ripening of eggs in the ovaries, and by stopping ovulation. They also increase the thickness of cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb. They prevent thickening of endometrial tissue of the uterus, which is normally required for the implantation, and further growth of a fertilised egg.
Cyproterone acetate and ethylestradiol also inhibit androgen receptors, thus helping to maintain the normal male androgen levels in the female body. (Some amount of male androgen is present normally in a female body, as it helps develop pubic hair, prevents bone loss, helps in libido, and enhances production of oestrogen).
Thus by maintaining the male androgen levels in the female body by use of Ginette-35 helps prevent hirsutism, associated acne, and androgenic alopecia.

Missed Dosage Instructions for Ginette-35 Contraceptive Pill

In case you miss one or more of your doses, please follow the instructions below:
One pill missed
If you forget to take ONE pill, or start your new pack one day late, you should take the pill you missed as soon as possible, then continue taking the rest of the pack as normal. You will still be protected against pregnancy, and you don't need to use extra contraception.
Two or more pills missed
If you forget to take TWO or more pills, or start your new pack two or more days late, you won't be protected against pregnancy. You should take the last pill you missed as soon as possible, forget the other missed ones and then continue to take your pills, one every day, as normal. You should either not have sex, or use an extra barrier method of contraception, e.g. condoms, for the next seven days.
If you had unprotected sex in the seven days before you missed pills, you may need emergency contraception (the morning after pill). Ask for medical advice.
If there are fewer than seven pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and then start a new pack straight away without a break. This means skipping your pill-free week.
If there are seven or more pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and have your seven day break as usual before starting the next pack.
If you are confused about any of this information, you can get individual advice for your circumstances from your doctor or pharmacist.
